Red Hot Cinnamon Apple Cider - Pink Saturday

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I wanted to feature a fall holiday drink that can be enjoyed by children and adults who do not use alcohol. This one is very easy to do and only a witch's brew could be more seasonally appropriate. The drink has two ingredients: really good apple cider and cinnamon red hot candies. The two are heated together until the candies melt. That's all there is to it. This is tastiest when served warm.

I have to tell this story here! My mother in law always made her "wassail" this way with red hots. We always had it for Thanksgiving. AND we always had chicken and dumplings! One year, she had the cider in one pot and the chicken broth in another pot on the stove, heating up...guess which pot the red hots went into? lol She fished them out of the chicken broth as soon as she realized what she'd done...but needless to say we had "pink" dumplings that year! Thanks for the reminder of that memory!

Hello Mary, I have missed so many of your posts but I am back to visiting after some very busy days with lots going on. My sisters who live near me are always complaining I am never home or I have company. It is so true. However, I will not stop blogging so expect an unexpected visit from me when I can. Big smile.

I am very glad I stopped by today. The cider sounds like a great drink for a trim the tree party. Plus it is just too easy. I am loving it!!!

What a lovely twist on a holiday favorite! I adore those red hot candies, and who doesn't enjoy a big mug of cider? Thanks for sharing! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend full of good eating and laughter!

Hi Mary! As you know from my latest post, I'm featuring red stuff from round the world on my blog. I saw the title to this recipe and wondered if you'd be interested in sharing a red recipe or two for my readers? It'd be a different take on RED - everyone's expecting another set of travel pictures to be next! Let me know if you're interested at red[dot]nomad[dot]oz[at]gmail[dot]com!!
